The cognitive dissonance with this guy is just funny.
He notices all the pieces I wear. I have heirloom pieces, and pieces that I bought. I told him that gold is an investment. Nowadays, I don't really buy anything under 14k and I strive for 18k. The fool tries to gas me up with Pandora, and I'm like what, I beg your pardon? He literally said, "Pandora is just as great" 😂. Not dissing Pandora, because I used to love it back when I was in college as a 19 year old! Now, I could afford real gold pieces. I have rings, and precious gems.
He comes from another angle, and he's says he doesn't like wearing jewelry and finds it to be a hassle. I told him I've been wearing jewelry for almost all my life. I showed him the necklace, I always wear with me to bed and the shower.
He also tried telling me that he doesn't care about gold and how it doesn't matter to him. At that time, my eyes were just glazed over. I was smiling on the outside, but nobody was home. 😂
Honestly, it didn't work on me. I know that's he's trying to accuse me of being materialistic, trying to humble me, and lower my standards. Clearly, I have doubts if he can even support my current lifestyle.
Later in the night, I think he gets self-conscious finds a paystub and starts showing me his life savings and boasting about it. Yet, he wants to gift someone Pandora. The cognitive dissonance with this guy is hilarious... like... just say you're broke!
Anyways, no more dates with him. Clearly, he can't afford the lifestyle I already have.
What a pathetic trifecta of a mantrum 🙄
1) He doesn’t respect your feminine passion and knowledge about jewelry just because he’s not personally interested in it.
2) He’s insecure about his wealth and the cost of your high-maintenance lifestyle.
3) He’s negging you and trying to drag down your standards by saying inferior alternatives are just as good.
Obviously throw the whole man out, and continue to enjoy your jewelry 👑
👑👑 The only thing you're missing out on with this man is jewelry that turns your skin green 😂
Someone on Tiktok said Pandora is the Olive Garden of jewelry and now I can't unsee it.
How does one just 'casually' flourishes out a pay-stub to show off their life savings?! XD XD XD
So he's not into jewelry, and yet he felt qualified to recommend a jewlery manufacturer to you? Sir, stay in your lane.
Men are so conditioned to try to teach us things, that you can't say a damn thing about one of your interests without them jumping in to pretend they have something new to tell you about it. It's such an ingrained behavior that I almost can't blame them for it (but I am, tho). If I tell a man that he doesn't need to keep up with me when I talk about my interests, and he can just listen to me talk about something I love instead, they act like I just shattered their whole world--BUT HOW WILL THEY IMPRESS ME WITH THEIR MALE SUPERIORITY NOW?!
And that pathetic save trying to pull out his paystub when he realized he suggested something far inferior to what you're used to, and now he looks cheap. 🤦🏻♀️ Why can't men just admit they fucked up, and stop making it worse? Or better yet, STOP TALKING AND BE QUIET. They don't mind expecting us to go 50/50 on the cost of a date, but still want to dominate 100% of the conversation.
Poor guy. Literally.
